Chapter 59: Killing a Mortal Woman (18)
"Yue Niang!"
Qie Shi looked at his wife who was in a daze again and waved his hand in front of her.
"What's wrong? Are you thinking about the past?"
Two years ago, Shi Yue finally appeared in front of him again, alive and well, without any harm.
He always remembered her words that she wanted to settle down in Yanzhou, so after parting with her, he traveled to Yanzhou and never left. She asked him to wait, so he waited until she came.
In the past two years, they have lived a simple but peaceful life here in anonymity.
No one knew who they were or where they came from, all they knew was that a pair of immortal lovers lived in this small courtyard.
Shi Yue came back to his senses, "I'm not thinking about those things, I just have some inexplicable emotions in my heart, it's weird."
She thought back to the end of that day.
Liu Feng stood behind Mu Ji and saw everything, but did not take any action.
He just kept silent and lowered his head, just like every time before.
And before he left, the last look Muji gave her was not filled with hatred or confusion, only pain.
He lowered his head to continue the work of preparing the medicine, but found that another ingredient was missing.
"Brother Shi, I'm going to the back mountain to pick some more herbs. These are all empty."
She looked at the other boxes and found that a lot were missing, so she simply filled them all at once.
"Then I'll go with you." He was a little worried because he saw that she was not in good condition today.
Shi Yue pushed him to sit down, "Okay, Brother Shi, I can do it myself, you can cook now, I'm hungry."
The back mountain is very close, and it’s very quick to go back and forth.
She didn't walk far, just looked around. Fortunately, she finished most of it quickly, except for the missing herb that was not easy to find.
There was no choice but to not be lazy and walked a little further away.
"Ah, I found it."
There were still quite a few of them, so she squatted down and dug them carefully, fearing that if she destroyed the roots, they would never grow again.
It took some time to pick a few plants, but I was afraid that Brother Shi would have to wait too long to prepare the meal, so I walked faster on the way.
"Brother Ten, I'm back."
From a distance, I could see the smoke rising from the kitchen, which clearly showed that the meal had just been cooked. When I walked in, I found the gate was closed.
Strange, because she came back late, he was angry? Brother Shi wouldn't be so petty.
She pushed open the gate with a flattering smile, "Brother Shi, why is the door closed? I..."
The smile froze on her face, and the scene before her made her want to turn around and run.
But, no.
Brother Ten is still inside.
"Shi Yue, I found you again."
Mu Ji stood alone in the middle of the courtyard, with no sign of Qie Shi.
"Where is Brother Shi? Where is he?" She just wanted to know how Qie Shi was doing now.
"Shi Yue, I thought that when we meet again, you should at least apologize, even a little bit of apology would be fine," he looked at the woman in front of him who was pretending to be calm. She hadn't changed much from two years ago, and was even more beautiful.
"I didn't realize that you could be so cruel to me, so cruel that you have no guilt at all."
"Is Qie Shi still alive?"
I turned a deaf ear to his sarcasm and only focused on this one question.
Mu Ji was successfully angered by her self-righteous attitude. He rushed over, grabbed her neck and pushed her against the courtyard wall.
"Shi Yue, why are you ignoring me like this? Why? I can strangle you to death with just one move, and you're still asking me whether Qie Shi is dead or alive."
He wanted to eat the couple alive, but when he saw her unyielding gaze, he found that he still couldn't bring himself to kill them.
"Because you owe me, because you like me."
I felt the discomfort of obstructed breathing, but the feeling of suffocation was not obvious.
He didn't kill him.
Mu Ji laughed so hard that tears almost came out of his eyes. "Shi Yue, you always say that I am a devil and a bad seed, but in my opinion, you are no worse."
"No, you are worse than me. You kill people and even destroy their hearts."
She watched him go crazy quietly without making any excuses.
Seeing her indifferent expression, he felt like a clown jumping up and down. He had been looking for her day and night for the past two years, almost going crazy. When he couldn't find her, he kept thinking about how to make her beg for mercy when they met, and make her pay for her behavior.
I even thought about whether I should forgive her if she regretted it, and whether I could accept her back after forgiving her.
But she hadn't even glanced at him since they met. She had been asking about Qie Shi's safety as soon as she opened her mouth, and she hadn't even begged for mercy.
"If you come back with me, marry me, and become my wife, I can forget about everything that happened in the past."
Shi Yue doubted his ears, "Mu Ji, are you crazy? How can we be husband and wife again? Aren't you afraid of having nightmares every night and waking up in the middle of the night to find me stabbing you in the heart again?"
"Then I must make him suffer a thousand times more than I do." He was no longer as irritable as before, his voice was sinister, "I want him to be unable to live, unable to die, and to experience all the tortures in the world while he is still alive."
"You threaten me with the Tenth, I will not compromise. But you should also know that killing me is your best option at this moment. Kill me, and you won't have to worry about it for the rest of your life."
"What? You don't want to live together, but want to die together?" He was so merciful and foolish that he wanted to save her life, but she proposed to kill her. Could it be that she was thinking of becoming a pair of desperate lovebirds with Qie Shi?
"Shi Yue, are you teaching me how to do things?" He loosened his hand, which had long lost its strength, and let her fall to the ground.
"Am I too kind to you, so much so that you have forgotten what you have done? Remember, from now on, I have the final say between us."
"If I want you to live, you live. If I want you to die, you can do nothing about it."
After that day, she was taken back, but her residence was changed to the main courtyard.
However, Muji had been missing for several days, and Qieshi had not been seen either.
In the evening, the maid helped her wash and dress, and she went to bed early.
It’s still the familiar Qing Yuan.
Actually, I wasn't very sleepy, but since I had nothing to do, I might as well lie down and rest. In the second half of the night, I finally felt tired and fell into a light dream.
In the dream, Qie Shi was covered in blood. She called him, but he didn't say anything. He just stood far away. When she wanted to get closer, he moved away again.
I ran anxiously while shouting his name. The Black Abyss was behind me, so I must not retreat any further.
"Brother Ten!"
She woke up crying, covered in cold sweat and her heart pounding wildly.
I raised my hand and wanted to wipe the sweat off my face with my sleeve, but suddenly I felt there was another person in the room.
"who!"
She looked over and saw a tall figure trapped in the darkness. She could see clearly in the moonlight that it was Muji.
He sat at the table, just looking at her quietly, like a ghost.
"I think of him in my dreams," his voice came through the curtains, and it was unclear, "How come, in my dream, he died?"
"Did I kill him?"
